Terry Shiavo and the Media
It is a sad case for Terry and her condition. But what a gloriouse day for the news media on all sides of the political spectrum. The far left screams a right to die issue while preventing the state execution of a convicted murderer in Texas. Those on the right cry how this is a case of right to life issue.
No matter how you as an individual sum it up this case is being used and becoming a travesty of the news. No one will ever know what exactly Terry's wishes were or are. This is do to her condition and the fact she will probaly be stavered to death........(anyone who has ever had hunger pains knows this is definately not a merciful way to die ). To deny a person of liquid nurishment...( aperson on average can last only three days without water) is a very cruel thing to do. The news is so focused on the frenzy of both sides to this issue they are neglecting what is happening elsewhere.
For instance, oh the little thing known as genocide in Sudan, the illegal immagration into the United States supported and sanctioned by foriegn governments........aka MEXICO/VINCENTA FOX (talk about not loving the good ol USA)
When was the last time that the news ran a story about the local high school boy who went out of his way on his Eagle Scout project and did the community some real good. How about the lady who always takes time to stop and speak to those who look depressed and offer them a cup of coffee or a friendly ear.
NOPE ....we have to be deluted with unsubstanciated arguments about a case in Florida where a woman who may or may not be comotose is being slowly, cruelly deprived of treatment, and nurishment. How the evangelical nuts are forceing thier beliefs on people or how the heartless lefties are killing an inocent.
What should we do? Well if you are as tired of this as I am turn the television off, change the dial on the radio, get on the phone call your loved ones up and let them know you care. Go out to dinner with a friend, talk to them. Or if you must.....WRITE YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRASENATIVE AND DEMAND EITHER A SWIFT END TO TERRY'S PLIGHT OR GIVE HER THE BASIC LIFE NUTRITION SHE NEEDS!!!!!!
As for how do I feel about this. Well I have it written down what to do with me should this fate ever befall me. PULL THE PLUG....PUT MY REMAINS IN A BURLAP BAG AND TOSS THIS MORTAL SHELL IN THE DITCH. I am dead for crying out loud.
Lets just hope that Terry finds peace at the end of her ordeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
